Let's start with the basics.

1. What are your current tank parameters?
2. How recently did you set up this tank?
3. Where are you sourcing your water from? (Are you making it yourself, buying from local fish store, etc.?)

Hard to say with these photos what exactly is growing. Could be a ”no big deal” micro algae that grows in a new aquarium or green cyanobacteria.
